Optional equipment
Do not install optional components too close to the TV set. Picture
distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV set is positioned in close
proximity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation.
Small accessories removal and fittable
Keep small accessories out of children’s reach.
ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come
in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT
WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in U.S.A. and Section
54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Antenna grounding according to the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
BATTERIES
s
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
s
Do not short circuit, disassemble or overheat the batteries.
s
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type.
Disposal of used batteries
To preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to your
local laws or regulations.
CLEANING
Cleaning the AC power plug
Unplug the AC power plug and clean it regularly. If
the plug is covered with dust and it picks up
moisture, its insulation may deteriorate and result in
a fire.
Cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set
Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this
TV. If not, it may result in electric shock. Clean
the cabinet of the TV with a dry soft cloth. To
remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with a solution of
mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or
benzine for cleaning. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow
the instruction provided on the package. The ventilation holes can
accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend
removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
MAGNETIC INFLUENCE
This TV contains a strong magnet in the speaker unit that generates a
magnetic field. Keep any items susceptible to magnetic fields away from
the speaker.
SOUND
If a snapping or popping sound from the TV is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operat-
ing, unplug the TV and consult your dealer or
service technician. It is normal for some TV’s
to make occasional snapping or popping
sounds, particularly when being turned on or
off.
